Easy Nutella Blondies

These Nutella blondies are rich, fudgy with a layer of creamy hazelnut chocolate spread! But what are blondies exactly I hear you say, let me explain…

Once upon a time in the dessert kingdom, there was a sweet little treat that lived in the shadow of its more famous sibling, the chocolate brownie. This treat was the blondie, a dessert bar that, despite its golden appearance, often had to explain, “No, I’m not a brownie, and yes, I’m supposed to be this color.”

The blondie, you see, is like the brownie’s quirky cousin who decided that cocoa just wasn’t their style. Instead, the blondie flaunts a vanilla base and revels in its rich butterscotch flavor, thanks to the generous use of brown sugar. It’s a confection that dances to the beat of its own whisk, often studded with white chocolate chips, but in this recipe we are going all out. We are adding dark chocolate chips, chocolate chunks and creamy Nutella in the middle!

But let’s not forget the history of this golden bar. Blondies have been around since at least the late 19th century, a good ten years before chocolate brownies even entered the scene. That’s right, the blondie is the O.G. of dessert bars, a pioneer of sweetness that paved the way for its cocoa-laden counterparts.

Tips for making perfect blondies?

Blondies are very easy to make, which is why I love them, however here are some tips to make sure yours are a success!

• Do not over mix the blondie batter, once you add the flour mix the dough together using a spatula until it has just come together and you do not see any flour.
• Do not add too much blondie batter to the bottom of the brownie tin otherwise you will not have enough to cover the Nutella layer.
• Do not over bake the blondies, you want them to be fudgy. If you over bake them they will be more dry like a cookie.
